It has come to my attention that the Elder Cube was engineered with a low-level neural matrix, imbuing it with simple cognitive capabilities. This allows it to make simple decisions as they relate to its own security, but it also has another unexpected result. Lower-level life forms, such as our servants the Pell, could possibly be influenced or even controlled by the Cube itself if left too long in its presence. I will raise my concerns to the Archon - but I fear that at this stage of the Project, they will more than likely be ignored.
